Ground and Conditions in Forbestown

Start with the failure a thin base shows here. On a rocky hillside, a path or pad laid over shallow soil and bedrock starts to pump and rut after a wet winter. The surface stone sinks into soft spots, edges break down, and water sits where it should run off.

The fix is a compacted base with a drainage path. Clay pockets hold water while Stone Screenings areas drain fast, so the same depth does not behave the same way twice on one property. Runoff from slopes above needs somewhere to go, and heavy winter rain finds every low spot.

Timing matters too. Work runs best from late spring into fall, because winter storms turn clay and steep drives to mud. Higher ground can see snow delays in mid-winter, so plan the base work before the ground softens.

Materials for Forbestown Projects

Paths and walkways are where the fines and screenings do the real work. A compacted base carries the load, then a finer layer on top gives you a surface that packs firm and stays walkable. Get that order right and the path holds through the wet season instead of turning to ruts.

Stone Screenings, usually just called DG, is the standard choice for paths, patios and low-water ground cover. It packs firm and lays over a compacted base. Walkway gravel suits garden paths that need a finer, walkable surface, and 3/8" Crushed Stone works for fine drainage, pipe bedding and topping over a compacted base.

Under all of that goes the base. Class 2 base, also specified as Class II base or Class 2 aggregate base, is the standard California material for driveways, parking pads and the compacted layer under pavers, slabs and DG paths. Caltrans specifies it as Class 2 aggregate base.

Recycled base rock and crushed miscellaneous base, often shortened to CMB, are the same idea made from Road Base or asphalt. Class 2 Base covers the base layer, and Crusher Run is the alternative when you want a material that binds as it compacts.
